  4. mate if your engine runs fine and holds prime when running but looses prime when it is turned off the problem is not in the supply of fuel to the pump the simple fact that it runs fine should tell you that It only leaves one other spot for air to enter the return line when it syphones fuel back when not running !! so the problem is in the return line to the tank or the tube inside the tank has a crack in it you can put all the non return valves in the delivery line you like it wont make any difference this do dah aint gunna fix it either you gotta fix the problem not the symptom I can draw picture to explain whats happening if you like Paul ps Im not trying to be a smart ass if I am coming across that way I apologise Paul

  21. mate in Australia I just went to a hyraulic place and asked for a air regulator set at I think its 60 psi and out it came but first I would check it connect a air gauge up to the side that goes up to the gear knob and see what the air pressure is Paul
  22. well Im out and about at the moment and you will never guess what I came across a Flinstone Mack with a Timken back end like the ones in the picture the sales man fella told me it was built that way But I tend to think he is wrong as they have the truck down as 1970 Timken wasnt making axles then as far as I know and I can see the chassis has been extended and streched and some more crap welded on Im not sure what the chassis is but I dont think its Mack it has a big double set just at the back of the cab I reckon it would have to 8 or 9 inches does anybody no what these numbers mean I dont know whether the front axle is timken or not You can clearly see the chassis change in height between the front and back axle in the photo below And the double set in the chassis at the back of the truck theres so many things that tell me this a made up truck from bits and pieces and not from Mack the axles are army green they are rivited to the chassis which I have never seen a Mack like that and one of this age and that chassis double set did Mack ever build a chassis like that ? heres the add for it http://www.westerntraders87.com/buy/used/truck/mack/r600/prime-mover/86425?returnurl=#.VMI9-dKUfC8 Paul

  25. I dont know I would have thought air brakes would be ok for fording streams My grand father used to drive a NR Mack with a tmber jinker for years and it had full air brakes FW that truck in the picture looks to have the same Timken front axle and drive axles as my Federal ? maybe its just my funny eyes Paul
